Section 9 (1.8L Engine (Service Information)): Description: Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Dodge Caliber. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The 1.8 Liter (110 cu. in.) inline four cylinder engine is a double over head camshaft with mechanical lash buckets and four valves per cylinder design. This engine is NOT free-wheeling; meaning that the pistons will contact the valves in the event of a timing chain failure.
The cylinders are numbered from front of the engine to the rear. The firing order is 1-3-4-2.
The engine serial number is located on the rear of the cylinder block. The serial number contains engine build date information.
